SOUTHBRIDGE — "Servants? Oh, there are thousands of them!"

Think that's an exaggeration? Try not to wear yourself out counting!

"We used to do it every year, but it's been a while now," says Suzanne Servant (Marianhill Central Catholic High School Class of 1966). Now in her 60s, she's in the middle of the whole thing – from every conceivable perspective.
